Innovative Features and Benefits
The SKIL iXO cordless screwdriver is palm-sized at 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches and, as a result of the 3.6-volt lithium-ion battery, weighs a mere 10.3 ounces. The iXO's lithium-ion battery technology is half the weight and size of a NiCd battery, plus it holds a charge for up to 18 months of non-use, so the iXO is always charged and ready to go when you need it. The tool can provide drilling capabilities to hang photos or curtains, as well as driving screws to assemble furniture.

The iXO also boasts user-friendly features such as forward/reverse indicator arrows that point users in the right direction. And the soft-grip handle increases comfort and alleviates user fatigue. The SKIL iXO's compact and convenient size make it an ideal tool for everyday use.

Powerful and easy to use

I've used this screwdriver for everything from hanging wooden blinds, installing child locks on the kitchen cabinet doors, and removing and replacing the switchplates when I paint a room to name a few. Its small and easy to use but is still powerful. This new lithium ion battery stays charged for months but the IXO can be stored on the charger without damaging the battery. I like the fact that it is always charged when I need to use it. I originally received the Skil iXO as a gift and liked it so much that I've purchased several more to give as gifts.

I love this little cordless drill. I bought it because it was small and lightweight and I've been very impressed with it's long-lasting charge and more than adequate torque for around the house. The grip is the perfect size for my hands. My husband has very large hands and loves his big drills, but doesn't mind using my little drill for small projects.
If you have children and/or shop at Ikea, buy this driver

This tool is the ultimate time saver! If you frequently assemble toys or have to put together flat packed furniture you will be very glad to buy this device. It comes with plenty of bits including hex so no more fiddling with Allen keys. It is compact enough to reach into plenty of corners a normal drill or screwdriver can't fit into. The charge lasts a long time and it has more than adequate power for daily tasks. Now it won't be useful for building a deck but in the few months I've had it I have:

put up a dozen blinds
assembled multiple toys
assembled 6 pieces of furniture (including a pottery barn table where the top required 16 bolts to attach to the pedestal)
and countless other small tasks

Every time I am so glad to have had this tool. If you see the negative Consumer Reports review, it's for the older model number. This one will not disappoint.
After a few years of use, I still use it every day.

This completely blows away any other small powered screwdriver I have ever used. Seriously. This is not junk like most.

I've been using the Ixo since it first came out. My partner on the job bought one, and we all made fun of him for it. "Isn't that cute!" We said.

Well then I watched him drive a self-tapping screw with no pilot hole into pretty heavy sheet metal with it. I had to try it out myself.

I wound up stealing his from him as often as I could, because carrying an 18 Volt Dewalt drill around to drive little screws is rather stupid. (low voltage electrical work)

You used to be able to find these for $40 at Home Depot, and sometimes $30 on sale. I bought mine about 2 years ago for $40. I've used it almost every work day since then.

When using for heavy-duty professional work, expect to have to charge it regularly. It will drive wood screws on a fresh charge, but not for very long. If its something that would be difficult to turn by hand, it will be difficult to turn with the Ixo. That's my way of judging whether to use this or break out the big drill.

It can be a serious time saver in a lot of ways, though. Removing/reinstalling screws that would require you to twist a driver a million times are now solved by just pushing the button.

My complaints - wish it had a clutch, but no way on something so cheap and small. Use your wrist as the clutch. When you learn to stop at the right time, you stop stripping screws.
When the battery is low, and you half-squeeze the trigger, the light doesn't turn on. Instead it lights up the out-of-gas light. This is frustrating when you're in a pinch and you just need to drive a couple more screws before putting it on the charger. However it does turn on once you push the trigger all the way. This is especially frustrating if you're using it heavily on the job, as it thinks the battery is done way too early.

So keep charging it if you're using it a lot. If not, it stays charged for a long time and works fine when you need it.

If someone stole mine or I lost it, I'd buy another one for sure.
Perfect!!!!!

This little Skil is perfect. Good torque. Quick. Fits just right in the hand. Charge lasts a long time while using and would fit just fine in tight spaces. Comes in a good sized carrying case and a small set of bits.
